The movement of salts into the cell is primarily controlled by the cell membrane, specifically through ion channels and transporters. These proteins facilitate the selective passage of ions, including sodium, potassium, calcium, and chloride, allowing for the regulation of salt concentrations within the cell. Additionally, active transport mechanisms, such as the sodium-potassium pump, help maintain the appropriate ionic balance by moving ions against their concentration gradients.
The cell membrane, specifically through integral membrane proteins, controls the intake of nutrients and movement in and out of the cell. The cytoskeleton within the cell is responsible for cell movement by providing structure and support for the cell.

Cytoskeleton is the supporting structure of a cell that is also involved in movement. It consists of protein filaments such as actin, microtubules, and intermediate filaments that provide structural support and help in cell movement.

The cell membrane is the structure that prevents a cell from rupturing. It acts as a barrier that regulates the passage of molecules in and out of the cell, maintaining its internal environment. The cell membrane is made up of a phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins that provide structural support and control the movement of substances.
Cell Membrane
The cell membrane, also known as the plasma membrane, regulates the passage of gases and nutrients in and out of the cell. It is selectively permeable, allowing certain substances to pass through while blocking others. This control of movement helps to maintain the internal environment of the cell.
